Abstract
Maternal sepsis is now a leading cause of direct maternal death during pregnancy. This review addresses the latest advances in the identification and management of critically ill parturients. Specifically, this review will focus on the vulnerability of pregnant women to sepsis, the utility of early warning criteria in the identification of the septic parturient, emphasize the immediate antibiotic management of suspected sepsis, and elaborate upon the latest understanding in the ventilatory management of parturients with sepsis.
